RPC/Linux

Nobody's Hero — Thu, 17 Jul 2003 17:51:49 GMT

Can someone tell me how I can be sure that rpc services is running or not. What daemons need to be started for rpc? How do I start and or stop it?

ps -ef | grep rpc

rpc.statd and the portmap daeomons.

rpc.statd is being started by the nfslock on my box. portmap is started by init.

chkconfig --list nfslock
chkconfig --list portmap

Look at /etc/rc.d/init.d to see if r* processes are here (rstatd, rusersd, rwhod) and nfs service, which are all using rpc.
Then look at /etc/rc.d/rc0.d to rc5.d to see at which level these processes are started (S) or killed (K). Then you'll know what is started, not stopped, so running.

You could search also by chkconfig --list | grep r*, but you'll get a long list with false returns.

hope this helps.

Another way to check the status of the rpc services is:

# rpcinfo -p

Obviously can be localhost.

man page, as always, helps! :-)

Hello

to check if you have the 2 process present do

ps -ef | grep -i "rpc"

or do

/etc/init.d/nfslock status
/etc/init.d/portmap status

to start or stop process do logged in as root

/etc/init/d/nsflock start
/etc/init/d/portmap start

also valid are the stop, restart commands.

P.S. dont forget to give us point if you found some of theses reply's usefull, thanks

Oouups , please discart my comment about points after sending my reply I did a refresh
and this then did show me you already had given points.

It seem's that by the time I get a chance to help 12 hours have passed by, If I wanted to answer I would have to do it early morning +- 02:00 <-> 04:00 Belgium time.. I am an early bird but not that early.

But I am drifting, the lessons is learned always do a refresh check user profile and time of call before typping any things out of pace &.

once again please forgive.
